The second title, World Seeker, is an action/adventure game that puts players in Luffy’s shoes. Featuring an elaborate storyline and a focus on exploration, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC Digital, and enhanced in 4K for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.

Toei Animation is also partnering with Bandai Camco to release a new game inspired by the Dragon Ball franchise, Dragon Ball Fighterz, later this month. The game, in partnership with Arc System Works, focuses on fighting gameplay.
